Beginners Weekend Nr Tetbury ***FULL***
2025-10-18 09:30 - 2025-10-19 16:30 UTC | Chedglow, SN16 9HA, United Kingdom
Spend two days with likeminded people learning about dry stone walls, how to take them apart, look for faults in a wall and rebuild.
You will be in safe hands on a Cotswolds Dry Stone Walling Association Course as all of our instructors have years of experience.
Booking your weekend course with us supports the DSWA and is no more expensive than other “for profit” courses, all of the profit from our courses goes to support the Dry Stone Walling Association nationally and allows us to support local budding wallers, fund skills improvement days and attend shows where we can promote the DSWA and all it does. By booking with us, you are giving back to the dry stone wall community and you are helping to preserve the craft, skills, walls and all that goes with it, you should feel good about yourself for booking with us.
The weekend starts at 9.30am on Saturday and finishes sometime around 3.30 depending on how much energy everyone has.
9.30 again for Sunday morning unless you are staying at a local B+B and breakfast isn’t served until then, dont worry, we will wait for you.
Finishing mid afternoon for those of you that have a bit of a journey home.
This Course is just East of Tetbury, Gloucestershire and full details will be given closer to the event.
The course is £150.00 for the weekend, tools are provided, please bring your own PPE, details will be given in your confirmation email, but please make sure you have some safety glasses, safety boots or very sturdy boots (no trainers or sandals) and some gloves, rubber or nitrile palmed gloves work best.
